Finish
All of our copper sinks come standard with a beautifully hand-hammered finish and aged patina that work together to conceal minor scratches and blemishes that may happen over time. Oxidation occurs when copper is exposed to oxygen, naturally creating an aged patina finish. The patina is "live" meaning it will continually work to darken the appearance of the copper throughout the life of the sink. Our copper sinks should never be polished or scrubbed because it can greatly compromise the authenticity of the aged patina.
Fully Insulated
All of our kitchen copper sinks come fully insulated which helps prevent dripping and condensation buildup under the sink. It also prevents the moisture from posing a serious risk by moving into your cabinet and causing mold and allergens to develop. Sound dampening pads are also added to minimize the “tin" sound from occurring when water is running or dripping.
